New Jersey Lt. Gov. Sheila Oliver, who was serving as acting governor this past week while Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy was out of the country, has died at the age of 71.

A mainstay in New Jersey politics, Oliver was tapped to lead the state while Murphy was vacationing overseas in Italy.

On Monday evening, CBS News reported Oliver was hospitalized with an undisclosed medical issue.

A statement from her family on Tuesday afternoon that was shared on X, previously known as Twitter, confirmed her sudden death.
